About the DS200MBHAG1AFC
The DS200MBHAG1AFC circuit board is a Mark V Speedtronic component used within the system as a communication board. The Mark V system is designed as individual circuit board components that work together within a frame system to manage and control industrial gas and steam turbine systems. This particular Mark V Series product offering is not the original Multi-bridge Hub Communications Board offered within the Mark V Series, however, as this printed circuit board alters its original DS200MBHAG1 parent product through its addition of three significant product revisions.
The Mark V Series is still something of a hot commodity on the greater figurative automated industrial marketplace, as it exists as one of the final-developed GE Mark product series to utilize their patented Speedtronic control system technology; a technology first introduced with the release of the Mark I Series in the mid to late 1960s.
Hardware Tips and Specifications
The DS200MBHAG1AFC is a long and narrow circuit board that has been drilled at each corner to allow for mounting options. One long board edge has been stiffened using a mounted board stiffener. The DS200MBHAG1AFC Multi-brige Hub Communications board is marked with General Electric’s logo along with codes that will help with wiring and location. The DS200MBHAG1AFC board featured here includes multiple components including:
- heat sinks
- an inductor coil
- high-voltage capacitors
- multiple integrated circuits
- tp test points
The DS200MBHAG1AFC printed circuit board also has a long line of connectors to facilitate possible ethernet connections. MBHA boards fall into three groups: G1, G2, and G3. G1 boards like this one have a jumper (J1) that functions differently than the other groups. On the G1 boards, this jumper acts as a factory test jumper for a programmable logic device input, while on other boards it is used for other things. This G1 board allegiance is discoverable upon a simple visual inspection of the DS200MBHAG1AFC alphanumeric product number, which details some of the hardware specifications of the product in several blockable parts. Some of the additional hardware information revealed by this DS200MBHAG1AFC General Electric functional product number includes:
- A normal Mark V Series assembly type
- The MBHA functional acronym
- A normal style of printed circuit board protective coating
- Two A and F-rated functional revisions and a C-rated artwork revision
